Description

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid and has the simplest structure of all amino acids‚ allowing it to fit easily within protein chains and make space for structurally larger amino acids. This feature makes it very important for specific bodily functions. Glycine is also a precursor of creatine‚ which is used to construct DNA and RNA. And it supports glycogen storage‚ thereby making more glucose available for energy production. The amino acid Glycine is non-chiral and only has one form without a D- or L- designation.

HUGE MEASURED IMPROVEMENT

A year ago my internist did some metabolic testing and once we got the results he recommended many supplements including Glycine 100% Pure Powder by NOW Foods. It's been over a year and I had my testing redone and we've seen a HUGE improvement.

Great Value!

I use Glycine 100% Pure Powder for sleep. I appreciate the cost savings of buying it in powder form. Because Glycine needs to be taken in large dosages in order to be effective (3 grams) for insomnia the savings is a great value! Thanks
